[06:47] <mappps> hi;D
[06:55] <knightwise> morning everyone
[07:12] <mappps> morn
[07:48] <knightwise> Gah ! ffS
[07:48] <knightwise> stupid locale settings in ubuntu
[07:59] <MartijnV1S> ?
[07:59] <knightwise> just getting some stupid pything errors about "locale not supported"
[07:59] <MartijnV1S> what *is* your locale?
[07:59] <knightwise> it was working before I rebooted but I think its borked again.
[07:59] <MartijnV1S> did you use dpkg-reconfigure locales to generate it?
[08:01] <knightwise> yeah ,tried that
[08:01] <knightwise> according to ubuntu its de_be
[08:02] <MartijnV1S> de_BE I'd guess
[08:02] <knightwise> cant i hardcode it to US US or whatever ?
[08:02] <MartijnV1S> check /etc/default/locale
[08:03] <MartijnV1S> well you could, but you have to make sure you don't break stuff like date and number formatting
[08:04] <knightwise> hmm , no such file ?
[08:04] <MartijnVdS> I'm on Debian, maybe Ubuntu does it differently
[08:04] <MartijnVdS> Can you put the output of "locale" somewhere?
[08:04] <knightwise> probably
[08:04] <knightwise> I can do locale-a
[08:04] <MartijnVdS> just "locale" is enough. Though "locale -a" would be good too
[08:05] <knightwise> http://pastebin.com/Kfs4viB4
[08:05] <MartijnVdS> yeah dpkg-reconfigure locales
[08:06] <MartijnVdS> then add and add some Belgian ones ;)
[08:06] <MartijnVdS> also ".utf8" looks weird, I'm used to it being .UTF-8 -- are you on a mac?
[08:06] <MartijnVdS> oh no wait. utf8 is the new thing apparently
[08:07] <MartijnVdS> knightwise: there's a gui tool to change locale stuff in Ubuntu too -- it installs language packs as needed, but also sets (system or user) language settings
[08:08] <knightwise> locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
[08:08] <knightwise> gonna try to log into the gui in a minute
[08:09] <MartijnVdS> I don't know how up to date this is, but: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale
[08:09] <knightwise> gonna take a peek this afternoon :)
[08:09] <knightwise>  right now its walkies-da-doggies time :)
[08:22] <LibreSponge> Mooin Moin. G'Morning.
[08:26] <mallard> Does Ubuntu change hard drive settings? On other distros my computer was quite quiet, but now it sounds like a motorbike.
